Fancy Restaurant Food

RE that last repost, years ago I tried to explain to someone that what you're paying for in a fancy restaurant is generally not the food itself, which is mostly the same as you'd get anywhere, but the skill of the staff–chefs, watiers, etc. This person was LIVID. - Ann Leckie ( @annleckie.com ) August 11, 2026 at 8:15 AM HOW could I even SAY something like that, of COURSE the food was not the same…
